What to expect from your dental exam/ check-up appointment at Be Dental Clinic On Harley Street London

A typical dental exam will include a cleaning by our hygienist, x-rays on certain visits, and a check-up of your mouth by our dentist.

You will sit in a large chair. A bright overhead light will shine above you. Our hygienist will clean your teeth using small, metal dental tools to scrape your teeth to remove plaque and tartar. Plaque is a sticky film that contains bacteria and coats teeth. If plaque builds up on teeth, it turns into tartar, a hard mineral deposit that can get trapped at the bottom of teeth.

This is what will happen at your appointment:

• Our hygienist will floss your teeth.
• Brush your teeth, using a special electric toothbrush.
• A fluoride gel or foam will be applied to your teeth. Fluoride is a mineral that prevents tooth decay. Tooth decay can lead to cavities. Fluoride treatments are given to children more often than to adults.
• Our hygienist may give you tips on how to care for your teeth, including proper brushing and flossing techniques. Our dental hygienist will remove plaque and tartar from hard-to-reach areas, as well as stains (we recommend the airflow hygiene stain removal treatment for best results with this). This won't only clean your teeth and brighten your smile, but it will also help prevent tooth decay, gingivitis and gum disease. You can also ask questions and get medical advice on how to best care for your teeth.

Our dental hygiene solutions are carefully designed to take care of your teeth and make the appointment a comfortable experience. Contact us to book an appointment or request more information.
